Heavy petting at France's human hamster hotel!

A hotel in Nantes offers guests the chance to live as a rodent for the night - complete with fur costumes and a romantic hamster wheel for two.

And judging by the interest shown in La Villa Hamster there are many people who find this sort of behaviour quite appealing. So much so that they're willing to pay €99 per night for the pleasure!

Your room is a compact space of 18 meters squared in a building dating back to the 1700s, which has been deliberately designed to evoke a hamster's cage. It boasts such authentic facilities as containers of organic grain, a water tube which guests can sip, and a double bed accessible only by a step ladder and a quick scramble on all fours. The pièce de résistance is a 2 meter-wide metal wheel in which both residents, if they wish, can take a turn side-by-side.

This is the sort of thing that keeps psychiatrists in BMWs and makes the bondage room in Berlin's Propeller Island hotel look quaint.Gives a whole new meaning to 'Fancy a nibble then?'
